Lee Valley bench compass, made from solid machined components and weighing a substantial 8 1/2 oz, with the sturdiness, size and precision needed for workshop use.
The point rotates on an eccentric axis, so you adjust the radius by simply turning the point carrier. You can fine-tune the circle without resetting the 8" legs, which open to 8 3/4" and lock at any position with a brass knob and clamping bar. Brass thumbscrews hold the point carrier and a pencil firmly.
The compass is made in France; the hardened A2 steel point and stainless-steel point carrier are made in Canada.
